Thanks Owl.

I'd like to thank my sister for lending me the pin to pick the number with.

I'd like to thank all my fellow BBers, here and in other places, whose combined wisdom has contributed to the expertise I have acquired in pinsticking.

I'd like to thank my fellow contestants, for leaving me the whole of the downfield to play in.

And I'd like to thank you, the returning officer, for running this election (sorry, comp) so efficiently.

I promise to wear the yellow jersey with pride, and to wash it before eventually handing it on at some later date. And also to not wear it when splashing concrete or bitumen or red wine.

Bounce on monday?
